“That part is pretty bad," Bob Giannoni said. "You can feel the bump in the road.”

The project will require a lot of noisy work, Caltrans said.

The concrete has to be cracked underneath, so a new layer can be laid on top of it.

"It's kind of like a pile driver," said Vince Jacala, a Caltrans spokesman. "Kind of like, boom, boom, boom."

Jacala said the concrete cracking will take place during the overnight hours so that crews can finish faster and keep the traffic jams to a minimum.

Some residents in Dixon who live next to the freeway are worried the concrete cracking will wake them.

“First thing I think about is, 'Don’t wake up my children.' But I know it’s going to be inevitable,” said Amy Valenzuela, who has a 2-, 4-, and a 7-year-old. “So, the quicker they can get it done, the happier we will be here.”

Other residents who border the freeway said the noise is worth the payoff.

“I hear tires on semi-trucks get blown as they are coming through the area,” said Dominic Castelli, whose house abuts the freeway. “I’ll take a new freeway for a little noise.”

The project costs $40 million, according to Caltrans. While the noisy part is expected to take a few weeks, the entire resurfacing project should take about a year.

YOU CAN SEE ALL THE CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THESE ARE STARTING TO BE WHEELED OUT ON INTERSTATE 80 TO DO THEIR JOBS. THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO TAKE MORE THAN A YEAR. THE NOISIEST PART SHOULD BE OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. SOME RESIDENTS ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. YOU CAN SEE THE FREEWAY. A FRONT ROW VIEW FOR A NOISY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. THE PROJECT AMY IS WORRIED WILL WAKE HER THREE CHILDREN UP AT NIGHT. DO NOT WAKE UP MY CHILDREN. I KNOW IT WILL BE INEVITABLE. THE QUICKER THEY CAN GET IT DONE, THE HAPPIER WE WILL BE. I-80 BETWEEN DIXON AND VACAVILLE IS GETTING A FACELIFT. DRIVERS SAY IT IS DESPERATELY NEEDED. BUT TO REHABILITATE THE SERVICE OF I-80, CONSTRUCTION CREWS HAD TO CRACK THE CONCRETE UNDERNEATH. IT IS NOISY. IT IS KIND OF LIKE A PILEDRIVER. TO SAVE TIME, CALTRANS SAYS THE CONCRETE CRACKING WILL BE DONE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. MANY HOMES LIKE THESE IN THE DIXON BACK RIGHT UP TO THE FREEWAY. SOME HOMEOWNERS SAY THE NOISE IS WORTH IT. YOU HEAR TIRES GET BLOWN ON SEMI TRUCKS. I WILL TAKE A NEW FREEWAY FOR A LITTLE NOISE. AMY IS WORRIED THE CONCRETE CRACKING MEANS LONG NIGHTS FOR HER CHILDREN. ANY PARENTS UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT SLEEP IS. AT NIGHT, IF WE HAVE ANY EXTRA NOISE, WE WAKE UP THE KIDS, WE ARE NOT HAPPY NEIGHBORS. WE ARE NOT HAPPY RESIDENTS OF THE CITY. THE CONCRETE CRACKING BEGINS IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES HERE ON INTERSTATE 80, NEAR DIXON. AT THE WHOLE PROJECT WILL COST ABOUT $40 MILLION. THE NOISIEST PARTS ARE THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.
